If bad weather is approaching, it's not always practical or safe to stay by your computer to monitor its progress. And while weather radios can be a lifesaver, they're so 1990's.
Enter Weather USA, a free service which will send you an Email or text message if a storm is approaching your area. Available alerts include those for severe thunderstorms, winter weather, tornados, and others. You can choose to receive alerts for one county or several. In our tests, the alerts were sent to us practically when issued, and often before websites or local radio stations. The service is free, though normal text messaging rates apply if you use the phone version.
